Dear friends,

after I recently discovered a cool new blockchain game called Planet Crypto, I was invited by it's creators to check it out comprehensively and write about it at my Steemit Blog. To be able to test it, I received some free PlanetCOIN tokens.

Planet Crypto

PlanetCrypto is an Ethereum Blockchain game where you own virtual plots of land. We've split the entire map of Earth into 20m² plots of land that you are able to own!

This means you can buy up your favorite landmarks, buildings and other properties around the world and add them to your collection.

Every property you claim will be transformed into a tradable game card, which is tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain (using the ERC-721 standard) and transferred into your wallet. This card records the details of the land you own - the plots (Latitude and Longitude), it's name and most importantly the Empire Score.

The first building I claimed was the birth house of Beethoven in my hometown Bonn.
It has an Empire Score of 200, because it consists of two plots of land.

Empire Score

Every card within the game has a so called Empire Score, which is simply the number of plots included multiplied by 100.

If you buy a new card with 10 plots of land then it will start out with 1000 Empire Score points - these will be added to your total score.

The cool thing about the Empire Score is that the more you have - the more you earn! Because everytime a new card is bought a land tax is applied and this tax is split between all current players in the game proportional to their Empire Score. So the higher your score - the more income you'll recieve!

Buying Land

When you visit the game with an installed Metamask extension or using the Trust Wallet for mobile, you can either use the search function to go to an interesting spot or move around like you know it from Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.

After you've found an interesting place, you can buy it using the tools at the top of the screen (you can add up to 45 plots of land to each card).

As you can see, Beethoven's birth-house only required the purchase of two plots to own.

While you select the plots, all the details (including the total costs) are displayed in a card template, where you then are able to give this place a name.

The starting price for a plot originally was 0.02 ETH, but each time someone buys a new property, the price rises a bit. When your new property consists of more than 10 plots, you'll also get a PlanetCoin as a reward.

PlanetCOINS are the currency of PlanetCrypto - and can be used to purchase plots of land - 1 PlantCoin is worth 1 plot of land no matter how high the price of land goes!

Hostile Take Overs

While scrolling through the existing cards (at the bottom of the screen) I noticed, that a lot of famous landmarks already have been claimed. But the game has implemented a cool way of taking over an existing card while leaving the current owner with a nice profit. This is called 'Hostile Take Over'.

The game allows any one at anytime to buy any existing card, but for double the last purchase price! When this happens the previous owner loses control of the card, but receives 80% of the new value (Making a profit!)... the remaining 20% goes into land tax (Distributed to all exising players) and the games marketing fund.

As a side-effect every Hostile Take Over also increases the Empire Score of an existing card.

What is really worth while about a Hostile Take Over is that when complete the Cards EMPIRE SCORE increases by 150%! Taking the new owners score up but also reducing the previous owners EMPIRE SCORE by the old amount - a strategic game move to become the top player!

Trading your Cards on other Exchanges

Unless your land is taken over by a Hostile Take Over, you are free to transfer the card to other Ethereum Wallets or sell it at any price you wish outside of the game.

PlanetCrypto items are available on OpenSea (one of the most popular Ethereum Collectible Exchanges) and you can list any of your card for sale there.

You just should be aware, that selling a card outside the game excludes it from receiving an Empire Score boost. This is reserved for Hostile Take-Overs within the game.

Planet Crypto Support & Chat

The game has an active Discord community available for support, special offers and game chat. You can find it here!


Conclusion

The game looks very entertaining and educational at the same time. I scrolled through a lot of famous landmarks and places to get an idea about which places could be profitable (or at least nice to have). If enough new players join the game, it could also be very profitable to have been an early adaptor.

Besides Beethoven's birth house in Bonn, I already tokenized the East Side Gallery in Berlin and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.
